Remember: An Open-Ended Question is a question that doesn't have one correct answer. Rather, the question could be answered in a number of ways. These are the kind of questions where the teacher says "come on, guys, there are no wrong answers!" A Closed question is a question that only has one correct answer. These are typically factual questions such as "What is seven times seven?" or "What is the tallest mountain in the world?" There can only be one correct answer.
